Jenna Bush is engaged. But is she pregnant, too? Or just fashionable? Damn those trendy floaty tops.

Haha. My pregnant sister is praising this fashion trend daily because she's not having to talk about being pregnant all the time because most people are just assuming she's fashionable and maybe a little chubbier than she used to be. On the other hand, she doesn't get offered seats on the bus.

Yea, a friend at church who just started showing was talking about how the trend in floaty tops probably cost her a lot of subway seats. I know sometimes I look at someone and wonder, is she? But I always play it safe.

I hate those floaty tops that make stick-models look pregnant, and curvy-me look fat.

Speaking of unwarranted tapping...

I imagine that if she were pregnant by accident, an abortion would quietly ensue, and we would never know about it.

Even with all the "pro-life" hand-wringing that W displays.

The wonkette commentator who says her chest getting bigger is somehow proof she's knocked up is nutty.
My chest got bigger when I gained weight. And every time I go on birth control.
The fact that her face is also heavier than it used to be makes me think she's not pregnant, just gained a few.

I feel bad for her most of the time, to be honest. It can't be easy being so famous because of her parents, and having all the stupid teenager and college kid stuff we all do become national news.

Are you kidding? The Bush people "asked" the press to "lay off" the Bush twins five years ago, and the "liberal media" completely complied. They're never in the news, no matter how drunk they are.

And that guy she's hitched to? The son of the head of the Republican party in Virginia, and himself a former aide to Karl Rove. She likes him? What a cunt she must be.

The disturbing thing is that Nicole Richie (sp?) is actually starting to look healthy now that she's knocked up with the spawn of someone from Good Charlotte.

former aide to Rove?
Damn, I figured it was just some DC grad student she met at a bar.
OK, nevermind what I said.

(other than that, in general, I pity the children of all famous people).

Feh. Her sister is the hot one, anyway.

kellydammit, you indeed CAN tell with boobage and broadening of the face. Something about preggo boobs that just...well, sticks out.

If someone can show me a Jenna pic from about two months previous to the earliest one, I can hazard a pretty good guess. OR we can just be patient and wait to see what develops.

That's what I love about a good pregnancy rumor- you always find out whether or not it's true!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 16 August | 18:17

The speculation began when these shocking pictures of a muumuu-clad Jenna and puppet star “Elmo” appeared two months ago.

Need I say more?

Ugh. I'm gonna go with the standard "Dear Abby" line - The baby was on time, the wedding was late. Get over it.

Alternately, babies take nine months, except for the first one, which takes as long as it wants.

If a polkid isn't in office or serving as a front for "consluting fees", I don't give a damn.

Shouldn't one double the "t" in consluting?

oopps. :)

Nobody's mentioned the most disturbing part.

Apparently, even when you're golfing in Kennebunkport, you're supposed to make white-person gang signs.

I just bought some cute floaty tops. I am wondering if I should be belting them to avoid the pregnant look, but I think I look ok without that. Also, the one French photo showing her side profile and in which the blog notes she looks "totally knocked up" is the one photo I think she actually looks good in.

Meh, that's not pregnant, this is pregnant! ;P

I'm too lazy to look it up, stilicho, but if she's a UT Austin grad, it's just the Longhorn symbol.

posted by lysdexic 17 August | 06:38

That's awesome, dabitch.

posted by danostuporstar 17 August | 10:06

Did I ever tell you you're my hero, dabitch? I would have LOVED to see some of the looks you got while you were pregnant and belly exposed.

I like that. Heh.

Oh, and dabitch? LOOOOVE the pic!

bunnyfire: on some people, sure. On others, that's a common weight gain spot. When I put on weight the first place it shows is in my face and chest, and that's the first place it drops from.
